Subject: [PATCH] proc: spread likely/unlikely a bit
Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 20:56:57 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180104175657.GA5204@avx2> (raw)

use_pde() is used at every open/read/write/... of every random /proc
file. Negative refcount happens only if PDE is being deleted by module
(read: never). So it gets "likely".

unuse_pde() gets "unlikely" for the same reason.

close_pdeo() gets unlikely as the completion is filled only if there is
a race between PDE removal and close() (read: never ever).

It even saves code on x86_64 defconfig:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 2/-20 (-18)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	close_pdeo                                   183     185      +2
	proc_reg_get_unmapped_area                   119     111      -8
	proc_reg_poll                                 85      73     -12
